My LEGO-loving 5yo loves the LEGO Technic series - some of the sets are expensive, but Bash and Whack are under $20 and are our go-to birthday gift. They have a pull-back mechanism that makes them fun to play with once they're built.
If I know they aren't into LEGO as much, I've lately been gifting craft kits. Tulip makes good tie-dye kits, or else your local Michaels will have a range you can browse through.

The age pretty much looks like 7 plus for these, though.

Again, the ages I am shopping for are 4,4,4,3.

Legos seem like a good idea though. And no, I am not buying a cutesy craft kit for the girl and legos for the boys. That's so messed up. Even my Amazon search for Legos was annoying - it autopopulated legos for girls or legos for boys. Ick.

Not sure why everyone loves stop rockets - I got some for my nephews, and they were fun for a day but then quickly got boring.

To clarify, the kids are turning 5, 5, 5, 4. They are currently 4, 4, 4, 3

Great for car trips and quiet time. No mess.

Not all kids are into LEGO, I didn't say you have to get craft/ activity kits for the girls, but I like to try to pick a present based on what the kid likes (my kid will tell me)
LEGO creator is good too, also LEGO juniors. The age range is only a suggested guideline; my 5yo can easily do the Technic sets. Always good to get them something that challenges them rather than something they'll bore of easily.

My niece is turning 4 - I'm getting her feathers, pom poms, and rhinestones.

I posted walkie talkies on another thread about gifts. Adding it here too, esp if they have a sibling. My boys are having so much fun with theirs right now.
